Bottom line
- Total investment $1.3M – $1.7M including a $50K franchise fee, 7.0% ongoing royalty.
- No Item 19 financial performance data disclosed — the franchisor chose not to publish revenue figures.
- Rated AVOID with a risk score of 79/100.
- No Item 19 financial performance representation. Without franchisor-disclosed revenue data, you'll need to gather unit economics directly from existing franchisees.

About

Risk & Legal
DAYBASE presents extreme risk: zero operating franchises, going concern status, undisclosed financials, and a $1.7M+ investment in an unproven model with no comparable unit performance data.
Score breakdown · what drove the 79 / 100 rating
- 01HIGHGoing Concern status indicates financial instability or viability questions at franchisor level
- 02MINORZero existing franchise units suggests brand has never successfully scaled or is in early/failed launch phase
- 03MEDNo average revenue or net income disclosure (missing Item 19) prevents ROI validation and suggests poor unit economics
- 04MINORHigh initial investment ($1.25M-$1.7M) with unproven profitability model creates severe financial risk
- 05MINORRoyalty structure tied to 'Workspot's Gross Revenue' is non-standard and suggests unclear or dependent business model
- 06MEDNo disclosed unit growth history raises questions about market viability and franchisee retention
- 07MINOR10-year term locks franchisee into unproven concept with no performance track record
